SURF-6 (Surfeit locus protein-6) is a 361 amino acid protein that localizes to granular components of the nucleolus. Expressed ubiquitously with expression levels regulated during the cell cycle, SURF-6 is thought to function as a housekeeping protein that binds both RNA and DNA in vitro and may be involved in ribosome assembly and biosynthesis. In mice, cells lacking SURF-6 are nonviable, further implicating a role for SURF-6 in ribosome biogenesis and, possibly, proper cell cycle progression. Human SURF-6 shares structural similarity with its fish and mouse orthologs, suggesting an evolutionary conserved role between species. SURF-6 is encoded by a gene that is located on chromosome 9 in the Surfeit gene locus, which is one of the tightest gene clusters in the human genome.
